L.A. Reflection

I have chosen my advertising essay because it was my best and favorite writing piece. To write an essay you must be an essayist and do lot of things to make your essay amazing. As an essayist you stick to the main idea and try to write at least five paragraphs that support the main topic. All essayists make sure each paragraph has a topic sentence and you have three reasons/ proof to support their thesis. An introductory paragraph includes a thesis statement that clearly states the writer’s idea.

Whenever you can, you use the “successful paragraph method” to have sentence variety in your piece. Essayists also need to edit their piece to make it sound and look better. Every concluding paragraph restates the thesis without being repetitive.

Along the way you must make sure all of your reason/ proof paragraphs have at least three supporting sentences that relates to the topic sentence of each paragraph. Each reason/ proof paragraph includes appropriate examples, details, and other evidence to support the writer’s argument. Writing an essay has a lot of components which makes it challenging sometimes. I learned a lot about what you need to do to be an essayist.

I believe that I did a very well written essay. Writing a persuasive essay to show that advertisers are tricking us to get our money, is exactly what I did. I even did well on editing my piece. I stuck to the main topic throughout the piece. Many reasons to support my thesis were throughout my piece. I wrote well but I think I didn’t use the successful paragraph method enough. Hopefully I will do even better next time and I also anticipate this will be your favorite piece as well.
